Sandra's Restaurant

I was so excited to finally try this place ...... I'm baffled by how this place gets so crowded every night. When my husband and I walked in, the place smelled strongly of sewer. I ordered the wienerschnitz, but it was so tough I had to chew and spit it out. It had no taste, other than a nasty oil flavor. Sauerkraut tasted cold like they just opened up a jar and threw in a bowl and their hot potato salad was okay... My husband had their special which was meatloaf with a gravy mushroom. It tastes like a clump of ground meat. The restaurant served canned mushrooms instead of fresh ones, even though they have a Saturday market with fresh produce. Their so-called original German bread was a clump of stuffing with no seasons rolled in a ball... The potato pancakes were deep-fried and lacked an

Truly felt authentic, their sauerkraut balls are sauerkraut with some sort of meat, out of this world. The schnitzel is so so tasty can’t stop thinking about it, I got the European sampler platter.

We hadn't eaten German food in many years, so this was fun. Good food, generous portions, served quickly, and friendly workers. I started with the Sauerkraut balls, then I had the Bavarian platter and my wife split the Snitzel with her sister. Then we all split the Apple strudel. The crowning touch was live music by an accordion player, dressed in German clothing. He was very good, playing both German and American pop music. We'll be back to try other options!

In the mood for something a little different this is the place! Our waitress was super friendly, nice atmosphere clean and the food was great. My favorite was the sauerkraut balls, never had them before so glad I got them. The pretzel with the beer cheese sauce was amazing too A+

The best food in Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte. I have been to Berlin and the food was not as good as Sandra’s. You can tell it was prepared with quality ingredients and love. The menus had all the classic German fare and some with an American twist. There are a few days with buffets that look like a great deal. I have been in the area for 10 months and have not picked a restaurant worth coming back for till I had Sandra’s today. This is a must do if you are in the area
